Marine Incineration Banned to Strengthen Ocean Dumping Management

摘要

The EPA has referred to international conventions in its revision of the Marine Dumping and Marine Incineration Management Regulations to effectively manage ocean dumping and stay in accordance with international trends to prohibit marine incineration. The revisions strengthen application permit inspections and include new regulations on ocean dumping technology standards and review permits. The original clause requiring application for marine incineration has been deleted to prevent pollution from the treatment of waste at sea.
